The versatility of concrete as a construction material is unparalleled. Its basic constituents are readily available in most parts of the world, it can be made and formed with relative ease into various shapes and aesthetically-pleasing designs, and, in general, it has been reliable, durable, and sustainable as a construction material.
There have, however, been durability problems for reasons that include the effects of the aggressive macro- and micro-environments to which concrete is sometimes subjected, the use of poor quality materials, poor quality control, and a failure to adhere to good concreting practices. The primary durability issues for concrete in aggressive environments include corrosion of embedded reinforcement, chemical and sulfate chemical attack, alkali-aggregate reactivity, and deterioration due to repeated cycles of freezing and thawing under saturated conditions.
To address these challenges, there are durability-enhancing chemical admixtures and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that—in addition to proper mixture proportioning techniques and knowledgeable structural design and construction—can ensure the durability of concrete in aggressive environments. The durability-enhancing admixtures include air entrainers, high-range water reducers (HRWRs, also commonly referred to as superplasticizers), corrosion inhibitors, lithium-based admixtures for mitigation of alkali-silica reaction (ASR), waterproofers, shrinkage reducers, and a crack-reducing admixture. The benefits and potential limitations of these specialty admixtures are discussed briefly in this article.
The durability of concrete is significantly influenced by its permeability, which, in turn, is influenced by, among other things, the water-cementitious materials ratio (w/cm) of the concrete. As a result, the w/cm of concrete intended to have low permeability is generally limited by code and specifications to no more than 0.45 and, quite often, a maximum of 0.40 where corrosion protection of reinforcement is desired.
HRWRs provide significant water reduction that can range between 12% and 40%, and they facilitate the use of low water contents without compromising concrete workability. Consequently, HRWRs are an essential component in producing low-permeability concrete and flowing concrete which, by definition, should have a slump of 7.5 inches or greater.
In general, the low w/cm afforded by HRWRs results in higher early and ultimate strengths. As such, HRWRs enable more effective use of cementitious materials. HRWRs have evolved over the years and current formulations are based on engineered molecules such as polycarboxylate ether (PCE). Unlike first-generation products that had to be added at the jobsite because of short slump life, current products are formulated for addition at the batch plant, where greater control can be exercised. The high slump and workability obtained with HRWRs leads to faster discharge, pumping, and placement of concrete, while reducing the amount of effort needed to properly consolidate concrete. Furthermore, HRWRs are absolutely needed in the production of self-consolidating concrete (SCC), a highly flowable and stable concrete mixture that requires minimal, if any, mechanical effort for consolidation within formwork. In concrete structures with highly congested reinforcement, properly proportioned SCC will facilitate construction and help minimize consolidation-related defects. This helps protect the overall durability of the structure.

Cancer Genetics
Our research interests focus on the cancer genetics and molecular epidemiology involved in prostate cancer and breast cancer. Our recent research showed that the somatic genetic alterations in a novel tumor suppressor gene FOXP3 with a single-hit mechanism have an important impact on developing both breast cancer and prostate cancer. We are going to investigate the molecular mechanisms of tumor development and progression in multiple signaling pathways. Our current projects include 1) identifying the cancer-causing genes, targets, and pathways; 2) determining the genetic mechanism of tumor invasion and metastasis; 3) establishing the principle of tumor suppressors relay between FOXP3 and noncoding RNA; 4) developing human-like animal models of prostate cancer.

April 26--The concerns about Javy Guerra that Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly shared on Wednesday night were about his health, not his ability to close.
Guerra was the losing pitcher for the second consecutive night, as he was charged with his second blown save of the season in a 4-2 defeat by Atlanta.
The right-hander recorded only one out in the three-run, five-hit ninth inning by the Braves that dropped the Dodgers' record to 13-6.
Three batters into the disastrous inning, a comebacker by Brian McCann struck Guerra on the right side of the jaw. Guerra remained in the game and a batter later, the 2-1 lead the Dodgers took on Matt Kemp's major league-leading 10th home run disappeared.
Two batters after that, the Dodgers were down by two runs.
"I'm worried about his health," Mattingly said. "I'm confident he'll bounce back. I'm not worried about that."
Guerra said he passed a postgame concussion test. Mattingly said he will remain the team's closer.
"You can sit here and question it all you want," Mattingly said. "But our club has confidence in him. At this point, I'm not going to get into a big closer thing again. After two outings, if you think I'm going to change and flip-flop, I'm not."
Based on assistant trainer Greg Harrel's on-field examination, Mattingly said he decided not to remove Guerra.
"I feel fine," Guerra said. "More than anything, I feel upset."
In the coming days, if not weeks, Guerra will face what could be the greatest challenge of his brief major league career. As a rookie last season, Guerra was nearly perfect, converting 21 of 23 save opportunities. Never has he had to come back from two games such as these.
"I think Javy's that kind of guy," Mattingly said. "He's been that kind of guy all the time."
Guerra's meltdown wasted more than Kemp's home run.
Ted Lilly's brilliant start was relegated to a side note as well.
Lilly held the Braves to one run and three hits over seven innings. He walked one. He exited with a pitch count of only 79.
"I let the team down two days in a row," Guerra said.
When Mattingly talked about the Dodgers' shortcomings before the game, he mentioned nothing about the back end of the bullpen.
Mattingly talked about the team's sloppy baserunning, which was addressed in a pregame meeting in the dining room.
"We've made far too many mistakes," Mattingly said. "We're getting away with it."
He also talked about how dependent the lineup was on its two star players, Kemp and Andre Ethier.
The Dodgers responded by manufacturing a run in the fifth inning to tie the score, 1-1.
Tony Gwynn Jr. led off with a single, stole second base, moved to third base on a hit by A.J. Ellis and scored on a groundout by Dee Gordon.
An inning later, Kemp put the Dodgers ahead by sending a ball halfway up the left-field pavilion.
With the home run, Kemp tied the all-time franchise record for most home runs in April. He shares the record with Gary Sheffield, who hit 10 home runs in April 2000.
The Dodgers have a day off Thursday. They will resume play Friday, when they host the National League East-leading Washington Nationals for the start of a three-game series.

We got the plague!!! And how it burns!!!
February 1, 2010 at 7:00 pm | #1
OK, that picture almost made me bust up in the middle of a meeting."4.) Keep tanks shielded whenever possible – and the boss." You mean me, not the boss mob, right? lolSlime management really is the key. I'm talking to someone else that's slamming his head against the encounter and we're starting to wonder if we should treat it more as a burn fight. There is an achievement relating to the number of times slimes combine… maybe we need to change up how we deal with the merges towards the end.We started getting better last night when people were paying more attention to the location of the slime and less attention to where the tank is. Have to intercept the slime, not chase it down.
February 3, 2010 at 4:49 pm | #3
Usually on the slime explosion I can be found close the the boss. I have gotten into the habit of popping shield wall when its time to re-engage the boss to make it alittle easier on you guys. You do a great job healing Liy. Especially when the healers remember to heal the MT and not put two healers on the OT.

Congratulations for being a gas buddy member for almost three years and posting gas prices to help save money. May 2014 bring you and yours peace and joy. Lets be buddies Thanks. Shep
Thanks for the reply. You're right that we can do very little, but if each of us does that tiny bit we can do, collectively we can reign in big brother. Technology can do a lot of things. We can alter DNA to improve our kids -- should we? Cars can go 200 mph but we have limits. Shouldn't we limit cameras, too?
Regarding your stop sign cam comment, may the first one in your state be placed at an intesection near your home that you drive past multiple times at all hours of the day. Fail to stop full and complete each and every time BEHIND the line, even if you know trees or shrubs block your view, and it sets you back about a hundred bucks each time. Stll sound like such a great idea?
Hi, you made a great comment on today's news item "Arizona's holiday DUI arrests increase over 3-year period". We don't really have more drunks than anywhere else, we just authorize STRICT enforcement of the 0.08 limit. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Hi, you made a great post today on the news topic "Malloy energy plan pits natural gas against oil". We need to use more abundant, cheap and ultra clean North American natural gas to replace all oil based energy sources that we can. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
>"Plastic will be the ruination of us..... "
Man, what are you sayin'? lol
Thank you for posting. You may "Pump Up" articles that you feel are worthwhile. If you don't remember how to pump up the vote; please ask.
Re: Your comments regarding the "Solar Firms..." news item; well said, sir, well said.

AUGUSTA — Like most parents, Sally Tartre imagined her three children enjoying a variety of life experiences with their grandmother. Graduations. Weddings. With a little luck, the births of great-grandchildren.
Sally Tartre of Kennebunk, whose late mother, Connie Roux, had Alzheimer's disease, spoke Thursday at a State House news conference presenting Maine's first strategic plan to address dementia-related issues. She holds a frame of photos of her three children taken with their grandmother six weeks before she died in December 2011.

The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram will publish an extensive series of stories over the next year as part of a major project on the challenges and opportunities of aging in Maine. We'll be reporting on the experience of being a caregiver, the search for appropriate housing, health care and other services, and the threats of elderly abuse and exploitation, among other topics. If you would like to participate by sharing your experience or offering ideas for coverage, send us an email at: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life
- Challenges in planning or solving problems
- Difficulty completing tasks
- Confusion with time and place
- Trouble understanding visual images or spatial relationships
- New problems with speaking or writing words
- Misplacing things and inability to retrace steps
- Decreased or poor judgment
- Withdrawal from work or social activities
- Changes in mood or personality
That vision changed after Tartre's mother, Connie Roux, formerly of Lewiston and Cumberland, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at age 74.
Roux died three years later, in December 2011, a shadow of her former self, said Tartre, who spoke Thursday at a State House news conference introducing Maine's first plan to address the disease.
As Roux declined, the Tartre family, including Amelia, Sam and Sierra, now ages 7 to 14, had to adjust their expectations as they continued to love and care for her.
"We looked forward to her future with her grandchildren," Tartre said. "We had no idea Alzheimer's disease would claim this future."
Tartre, who lives in Kennebunk, participated in the news conference organized by the Alzheimer's Association, Maine Chapter, to help raise awareness about a disease that afflicts about 30 of every 1,000 Mainers.
Raising awareness is a top recommendation in the "State Plan for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias in Maine," along with improving diagnosis and care of the disease.
The plan was developed by a task force including advocates and officials from the Maine Office of Aging and Disability Services, the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Maine Association of Area Agencies on Aging.
"We learned many things from Maine people who came together to develop and inform this plan," the plan says. "The most important is that those living with and affected by Alzheimer's disease are desperate for decisive and meaningful action."
Alzheimer's afflicts about 5.4 million Americans -- a figure that could climb to 16 million by 2050, according to the association. More than 37,000 of 1.3 million Mainers have the disease, and that number is expected to grow to 53,000 by 2020. The increase will occur because of population growth among the elderly, and improved diagnosis and awareness of the disease.
Despite this prevalence, the task force found widespread stigma and ignorance associated with the disease; late diagnoses and spotty and ineffective medical care; lack of support for family caregivers; and limited access to quality long-term care.
"The present reality is that even long-term care facilities are often not fully equipped to meet the intense demands of caring for those in the middle and later stages of the disease," the plan says. "We need to do a better job at recruiting, educating, and training our work force across all settings that make up the care continuum."
The plan grew out of legislation sponsored by Sen. Margaret Craven, D-Lewiston, who is co-chairwoman of the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee.
"This impacts all of us," Craven said. "Us baby boomers, going down the road, are going to cost our kids a fortune."
Craven noted that Alzheimer's care in the United States costs $183 billion per year today, and it's expected to cost more than $1 trillion per year by 2020.
The average annual per-capita Medicare expenditure for a person with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia is three times higher than for a person without.
"If you don't care about Alzheimer's for any other reason, we need to care about the rising costs associated with the disease," said Laurie Trenholm, executive director of the association's Maine chapter.

Sound is everywhere, blasting from your computer, cellphone, and car radio. It's in conversations, whispers, and laughs, populating memories from the first "I love you" to "I have a dream." At first, sound existed in invisible waves, and more recently, in iconic visualizations. Starting today, you can hold it in your hand.
We're thrilled to announce that we're launching The Vibe, an iPhone case you can fully customize with your favorite sound from SoundCloud, the social sound platform. It's our latest Creator, or web app, that lets anyone turn an idea into a physical reality.
The Vibe is incredibly easy to customize: you connect to SoundCloud,
select your favorite sound, and the waveform will integrate into the
very structure of the iPhone case. The result is a beautiful, unique
protective case, available in top-quality white or black 3D printed
plastic. You can 3D print any sound on your case, from your favorite
song to your child's first words to the sounds of NYC rush hour traffic.
We'll be going around SXSW collecting start-up stories
for custom cases, so entrepreneurs will be able to show and tell their
15 second pitches.
Shapeways community members have already experimented with converting
soundwaves into physical objects, such as necklaces that have the
waveform "I love you"

Among social media sites, Facebook was the most popular with teenagers, according to a survey of about 800 teens by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project.
We recently asked readers: What age do you allow your kid to have a social media account, and we received mixed responses.
Facebook is Unnecessary
Some readers say they don't allow their children to have a Facebook account.
"It's unnecessary, I wouldn't let me child have a Facebook [account]. It would cause more harm than good," Patch reader Melissa wrote.
Patch reader BigMama wrote, "In hindsight I wish I had NEVER allowed my teenage son on Facebook. It's turned out to be a vacuous, distracting time sink."
High School, Age Appropriate
Other readers say high school is an appropriate time to allow children to have Facebook accounts, but parents must also monitor the conversation.
Patch reader Dan says, "Facebook is like telephone when I was a teenager. Allow your teenager to use the phone, just be sure to monitor what is being said or in this case monitor the posts, tweets, images, videos, etc."
Patch reader QT Pie agreed.
"High school sounds about right; with a tutorial on what's appropriate and limits on time spent on it, because as BigMama said, it can be a vacuous wasteland," QT Pie wrote.
Creating a Network for Parents, Teens
Some readers say they've used social media to create a network for parents and teens.
"I allowed my daughter 2 years ago when she was 16, on the condition that we were 'friends' and I approved of and became 'friends' [of] all friend requests," Patch reader Cindy wrote. "She is in college now and I have remained 'friends' with most all of these kids, even though they may be in different states. We have created a network between the kids and parents."
One reader says she uses Facebook as a way to document her child's life. "I created a Facebook page for my daughter the day she was born as a way to document pictures and milestones for family over seas," Patch reader Beck wrote.

i have many "O Lisa" because it's the best song with my name in it :P even better than the V.U's "Lisa Says" "Smile" because it's lovely and the vocals are gorgeous
"Island In The Sun" because it's instant happiness and sunshine every time I hear it
"Keep Fishin" because I love love love that chorus
"Hold Me" because it's vulnerable and powerful at the same time
"Haunt You Every Day" because it's a little sad, a little angry, a little "screw-you"
"If You're Wondering If I Want You To(I Want You To)" because it's so fun, it has hand claps and makes me very happy. Reminds me of why I love music. It reminds me of the beatles. Just what it reminds ME of.
"Trippin Down The Freeway" because it's fun and sweet
"I Don't Want To Let You Go" because the vocals and lyrics are so beautiful. I also love River's solo version of it.
"Where's My Sex?" because it reminds me of "Tired Of Sex" but the opposite. I like the whole speed-up/slow-down part and the lyrics are silly and fun to sing along with
"Represent" because it's about integrity and it's just a great song
Because it says "rivers best song", i'll also include "I Want To Take You Home Tonight" which I loved especially for the lines "I hope I find another girl who thinks that I am lovely too, but they don't make those kind of girls and so I cry from me to you". great vocals.
anddd "I Was Made For You" because it's truly lovely and I love the line "i was made for loving you and all the little things you do remind me who I am inside"
and back to Weezer, I love "Perfect Situation", "Pork And Beans", "Memories", "All My Friends Are Insects", "Troublemaker", "Hash Pipe"!(soooo kick ass) and well, pretty much every song they've made.
You guys are picking a lot of my favorites!
Peace or Hash Pipe

Join me in demanding a true SBA for businesses under 20 employees
by chuckblakeman, Window Shopper
- Created: November 16, 2009, 11:53 pm
The SBA serves every single business under 500 employees, which constitutes 97.7% of all businesses in America. This is a constituency so expansive as to hae simply no meaning. Even 20 employees is still over 90% of all businesses, but at least there is some level of definition to '20 employees'.
To call 97.7% of all businesses 'small' is no different than calling all people under seven feet tall 'short'. The SBA is not the SBA, it is the MSBA - the Mid-sized Business Administration. All the SBA has done for the last 50 years is make it easier for mid-sized businesses to become mega businesses, at the expense of true small businesses.
The first loan program in the history of the SBA actually designed for businesses with under 20 employees, the ARC program, was a complete disaster. Ten months after inceptio, the paltry $255 million doled out for use by these 99.7% of all businesses is still not loaned, and the only businesses qualifying for this loan are very healthy businesses that don't need it. Imagine if we have given money only to the healthy banks and to Ford - that's exactly how we're treating small businesses. While GM runs off with tens of billions, the 27 million small businesses can't pry $255 million out of the government as even a token of support.
The only reason these conditions exist is because politicians don't believe small business has an organized voice. It is time to change that. The existing small business advocacies groups all serve narrow agendas and have been completely ineffective in this role, largely because the government keeps buying them off.
Please join me in putting together a unified voice of small business to advocate with government for a seat at the table. It is time that politicians stop using us as a photo op while raising money for themselves.

Jeanlover Love these jeans! Great quality and fit perfect.I love the soft denim. Sexy too! February 1, 2014
Beautiful Jeans Very nice fit. Makes you look slim. Very comfortable and sexy. Great details on back pockets. April 30, 2013
Love these jeans! I tried these on in-store but they where too big in my regular size. I special ordered them one size smaller and they fit great!! They are my favorite Rock Revival jeans so far. Perfect to wear with heels or cuffed with sandals. April 8, 2013
Favorite skinnies! I love rock revivals, and these are definitely my favorites so far! I love the easy fit. They are more loose through the calves than the typical "skinny jean". They do stretch a lot so I recommend ordering a size down if you like them tighter. These are great bunched at the bottoms, cuffed, and can also work as crops. Love them, definitely worth the money! February 17, 2013

Valpo Track and Field Program Adds Two Graduate Assistants to Staff
Friday, August 26, 2005Valparaiso University track and field coach Tyler Wingard has announced the addition of two graduate assistants to his staff for the upcoming season. Joining the program are Iryna Kharun and Greg Lott.
Kharun is a former Ukrainian national record holder in the javelin and a 2004 Olympic qualifier. She was the 2003 national champion at Indiana University and is the NCAA Division I national record-holder.
She has spent her summers coaching the javelin in her home country and coached high school and middle school track and field at the International School of Indiana in Indianapolis. She will work with the Crusader jumpers and throwers this season.
Lott was an All-American at Dickinson College where he was the 2004 runner-up in the 200m, a five-event national qualifier, and the MidEast Regional Athlete of the Year.
He continues to train in the sprints, most recently working with formerly world-ranked dashman Dennis Mitchell at the National Training Center in Florida.
In 2004, Lott led the sprints and hurdles at Buffalo State College where his top hurdler placed third at the NCAA Division III indoor national championship and was an outdoor national champion. He will lead the Crusader sprint and hurdle groups this season.
?I am very excited to add these two members to my staff," Wingard said. ?They both have great competitive experience and come highly recommended by other coaches for their work ethic and leadership qualities."

Kudos to VCA Boston Road, Springfield MA-Eileen French from Springfield, MA
I have been bringing my cats (all senior citizens) to VCA Boston Road for about 5 years now. With very very few exceptions, the staff (techs, reception, doctors) have been amazing. I have only dealt with one other practice where I have felt so comfortable and where I know my cats are treated with so much respect and compassion. The doctors explain everything to me in terms I can understand without sounding superior. The techs treat each cat like it was their own and the staff in the reception area have gone out of their way on numerous occasions to ensure I could pick up whatever medications/food necessary at the time. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!
Frankie-Cogoli Family from South Barre, MA
Pet Name: Frankie
On Saturday night we thought that we were going to lose our baby Frankie, a 4 yr old boxer. We rushed to Boston Road, a place we had never been with no hopes for his survival. When we arrived I have never been treated so wonderfully. They took such great care of our dog and were able to save his life. Many dogs do not survive a bloat like Frankie's but the vet and surgeon, along with the wonderful staff took care of him, and us. I am forever going to be thankful for them. Even though my baby isn't home yet, I know he is in the best care and I cannot wait to bring him home tomorrow. Many thanks and well wishes to all of you!
Caring Staff-Mike from Wilbraham, MA
Pet Name: Dakota
I couldn't have been much more pleased with my experience. I had to bring my cat Dakota in because she was vomiting and wouldn't eat again. I had to leave her overnight twice for testing and to keep an eye on her. I talked to so many staff that unfortunately I can't remember all their names but I was very pleased with all the times they called me to give me updates and the time they took to explain everything. I was afraid to leave Dakota overnight but the staff was so affectionate with her that they made it much easier. I even called during the night to check on her and they gladly gave me detailed updates. The staff understands what our pets mean to us and work there because they care. Everything was about what was best for Dakota and not what would make the hospital the most money. I was also able to visit Dakota for as long as I wanted to in our own room. Fortunately we were able to avoid surgery and just give her some medication. Now she's recovering well at home. I definitely recommend this place for the best care.
lady-phyllis from Springfield, MA
Pet Name: lady
Thank you for your help and kindness in this sad time for me and my family. We had to put our Lady to sleep today and it was not an easy time for us. We will miss her very much.
Thanks for helping Callie-Maryann from Wilbraham, MA
Last night, Callie, our 11 year old collie mix collapsed on her nightly walk --her back legs just gave way and she couldn't walk and was experiencing siezure like symptoms. We were terrified and brought her right down to Boston Road Animal Hospital. This was our first visit there and I must say I was very impressed with every aspect of our visit and care. The staff came right out with a stretcher and took Callie in to start evaluating her immediately. In less than 30 minutes we were put into a room and Dr. Joseph Cosman came in to talk to us. He was extremely patient and caring and very informative in what his diagnosis was and what they were doing for Callie. He brought us in to where they were caring for her and continued to talk to us there about our options for her care. Dr. Cosman expressed several times that it was our decision as to which course of action to take and he would help and support us in whichever option we chose. We decided to take Callie home where we thought she would be more comfortable. Dr. Cosman gave Callie the meds she needed, continued to monitor her and come out and update us until she was released. He wrote a complete and thorough report and gave that to us as well as faxed it to Callie's regular vet. As far as the bill for services, I thought it was extremely fair and reasonable. Thankfully Callie has improved dramatically since we brought her in. Dr. Cosman called us first thing this morning to check on how all of us were doing and was genuinely pleased she was improving. He said if we had any questions at any time, not to hesitate to call. We took Callie to our regular vet this morning as an extra precaution. He was pleased with our total experience at the hospital from the care we received and the options we were given to the amount we were charged.The hospital called us again this afternoon to once again check on how Callie was doing and once again told us to feel free to call at any time if we had any questions or concerns. I want to thank everyone at the Boston Road facility and especially Dr. Cosman. Everyone we came in contact with was extremely caring, concerned and patient throughout our entire experience. While I hope we never have another pet emergency, if we do, I will without any hesitation or reservation, return to the hospital.
A Beacon In a Time Of Sorrow-John from Springfield, MA
Pet Name: Echo
I had to put a beloved pet to sleep and I can't begin to describe how compassionate the team at Boston Rd were! Dr Pellitier, Tracey, & Emily couldn't have been more wonderful. They made an awful night as painless as possible for me & my loved one. Their humanity should serve as a shining example to everyone in any medical field.
They were there for us in the time of need.-Jeri Young from Monson, MA
Pet Name: Kit
A night that turned from normal to worse these wonderful woman were there for my family and I in the time of need. Our cat Kit was sick and even at 3 am they were there to help us out. They helped use my the hard decision to have to say goodbye and did everything that they could to be there for not only use but for Kit and that made the difference to me. After they gave use keepsakes to help remember our kitty. Thank you for all your hard work and understanding.
Excellent Care-Amy from Palmer, MA
Pet Name: Zoe
Thank you everyone at Boston Rd. Animal Hospital for taking such great care of our sweet little Zoe cat. She had a laser declaw by Dr. Stambaugh and just as we were told the surgery went great and there was such a short recovery time. Dr. Stambaugh was excellent with keeping us informed about the procedure and educated on how to care for her post surgery. The techs took great care of her during her stay and we are always so happy with the care that our pets receive from everyone at the hospital. We look forward to seeing you at our next wellness visit and we are glad you are there if we have an emergency.
Bring Your Pet Here-Karen Senecal from Indian Orchard, MA
Pet Name: Ivan Alexander, Mr Bossy
I have read some of the crazy things on other sites about this hospital. I can tell you they are all rubbish. I have been bringing my cats there for over ten years and would not go anywhere else. The staff is always caring and attentive both to patients and owners. The techs treat the pets with love and care. The Vets (I use Dr. Crouser) have never uttered a harsh word about anything. He treats my cats as he would treat his own. If you loose an amimal you can tell that he feels your loss with you. I would never go anywhere else. Cheaper does not mean better. The well being of your pet and how it is treated the most important. Love is caring and thats just what you get at Boston Road Animal Hospital.
Care for Life-Maureen and Larry Jaconetta from Indian Orchard, MA
Pet Name: Max and Shadow
Our black spaniel mixed breed dog, Shadow, was primarily a patient of Dr. Crouser's, who treated our girl with the utmost concern for her happiness, comfort, as well as her health, particularly in her later stages - Shadow was 171/2 years old when she left us, and we are convinced that the care she received throughout her life from your facility and its wonderful staff contributed greatly to her longevity. Dr. Pelletier was also instrumental in Shadow's final days, as well as caring for our ferret, Max, who was with us 6 1/2 years, thanks to her loving care. Guess what, Dr. Pelletier? We've just adopted two new ferrets, Frodo & Sam, who will be visiting with you soon!

The human rights struggle in Cambodia is still no holiday
As the ASEAN juggernaut plunges into town, Phnom Penh's elite are smiling broadly, puffing out their chests and standing tall on the international diplomatic stage. Everyone can feel the eyes of Australasia – and the world – focusing on the small nation of Cambodia.
But some of those eyes are peering into Cambodia's more vulnerable diplomatic corners and the human rights abuses that are rife in this country of 15 million people.
Cambodia still bears the scars of arguably the most horrific human rights abuses of the twentieth century. Millions still live with the legacy of the systematic extermination inflicted by the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970's.
You might think that after those atrocities, no leader of this nation could ever tolerate the faintest whiff of a human rights violation. But unfortunately Cambodia has more than its fair share of modern shames.
The international community has taken an interest in the 20 year jail sentence recently doled out to outspoken radio station owner Mam Sonando on trumped up 'incitement' charges.
There's also the continuing exile of Opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who was convicted of spreading 'disinformation' two years ago. The government, headed by Asia's longest serving leader Hun Sen, has said Rainsy will be jailed if he returns, despite July's elections drawing near.
And then there are the forced evictions of thousands of Cambodians. Their long-held family land is being compulsorily acquired for lucrative private developments.
At locations across the city, hard working families are turfed out of their homes without so much as a dollar of compensation or a new place to stay. These families are left to rear their children beneath bridges and carve out a sorry existence in whatever squalor they can find.
The ensuing protests have turned deadly and seen dozens jailed heaping misery upon misery.
These are just a few of the issues fuelling the ASEAN Grassroots People's Assembly. A collection of about 70 civil rights groups across South East Asia that have banded together to try to send a message to the powers now converging on Phnom Penh.
With a heavy police presence looking on, more than two thousand mainly Cambodians gathered at Freedom Park to announce their dissent and suggestions for change.
Their participation was enthusiastic but peaceful. Most sat cross-legged on the hot, paved ground listening, singing and echoing protest chants.
The demonstration's location – Freedom Park – is in itself a facetiously named abuse.
'Freedom Park' is a largely concealed concrete space amid a construction zone allocated by the government for public protests. This is where citizens must voice their controlled concern – and nowhere else. Of course ample notice must be given to authorities of any booking. And any limited feeling of freedom isn't really helped by the uniformed officers who turn up to keep an eye on things.
Officers even crowd around me as I interview a protest organiser, but in a testament to his passion and bravery, the young man continues speaking frankly into my microphone. He's probably aware the officers don't speak English and can't actually determine if what we are saying is problematic, but I admire his fortitude nonetheless.
The demonstration on the first official ASEAN day is the culmination of workshops held by the Grassroots group, encouraging ordinary citizens to voice their concerns on matters such as urban land rights, freedom of expression, human rights, environmental degradation, agricultural issues, women's rights, child abuse and employment conditions.
But even running these workshops was a challenge. The employment rights group spokesman tells the crowd how they'd booked a meeting room only to have the building owner intentionally cut the power when the workshop began. When asked about this, the owner reportedly said he hadn't been pressured by the government, but just thought it a better idea not to be seen to be providing support to dissenters.
Notwithstanding the hurdles, the two thousand people of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds patiently listened to representatives read out lists of demands for action on the pressing human rights concerns facing their nation.
It's yet to be seen if ASEAN leaders take any notice of the work the group has done or the very constructive and practical ideas it puts forward. Many leaders will probably be completely unaware of the group's existence. They certainly won't see them anywhere near the well-protected meeting places and guarded VIPs.
But Cambodians are hopeful that with the eyes of the world glancing in their direction for once, just maybe, things might get a little better.

James Ricketson says:
As a filmmaker I have covered the forced and illegal removal of an entire community living adjacent to the then new Australian Embassy - known as the G78. Neither the Embassy nor the Department of Foreign Affairs lifted a finger to help this community. Only during the hours before the community's eviction did our Embassy, in conjunction with others in the international donor community, express any public concern about illegal evictions in general - making no specific mention of the one just about to occur.
To see what actually takes place in Cambodia, visit:
The primary purpose of our embassy in Phnom Penh is to grease the wheels of industry; not to support the Cambodian people in the protection of their human rights. The book to read: CAMBODIA'S CURSE by Joel Brinkley.

Indigo says:
Thank-you Jayne for writing of this. I visited Cambodia just before ASEAN and had the opportunity to see the abuses you describe. Hopefully as Cambodia becomes more tourism and trade orientated the gradual accumulation of international opinion can help improve matters. Given the horrors of the last 50 years no one could blame the Cambodians for being a bit numb about it all.
gobsmack says:
"And any limited feeling of freedom isn't really helped by the uniformed officers who turn up to keep an eye on things."
Uniformed police attending a demonstration? It would never happen here.
Gerry W says:
So sad so many countries treat their people like cattle or worse and seem to enjoy it. Love beating the people when all they are doing is expressing their opinion peacefully. It is just another form of bullying that is rife in all aspects of life in this world.
Robin says:
I have travelled through Cambodia on several occasions. I am always amazed by the resilence and the truly wonderful nature of the average citizen. This beautiful country - - - - I wish they could find peace.
Gregg says:
Living just about anywhere in Asia is going to be a lot different for most living there compared to the expectations we have in Australia and even visits at the lowest of levels if I can call backpacking that is still likely only going to give you a very limited exposure.
I wonder whether there is any real addressing of the vast differences in standards of living and government with the Asianisation White Paper or if the paper was just too glossy.
And what will another conference and attendance by many including our PM really achieve.
